Advice on Mongoose rear brake...
« on: April 16, 2009, 05:05 PM »
Hi all...

I usually run with Coaster brakes on my old geese, but have decided to finally break my mold and fit a rear brake to my 1980 frame...

I have purchased a non era specific Dia compe 901 set which has a much longer fitment than required, i fear if i fit it then it will foul the frame, or will need so many penny washers it will look ridiculous?

am i being stupid here?  should i have purchased a different setup, can i just change the guts of the brake onto a shorter bar so that it fits?

Advice please guys...


Matt

OK after running through the pics in the museum i have realised my mistake...  (stupidity)

I need a grommit to push the brake out further from the frame... 

Can i use anything else other than a specific brake part?  Just wondering where i might get just the grommit???  Any one got one going spare?

You can use the cooling fins from a Skyway Pro Pad< I have some somewhere, but since I moved house a month ago, I'm not sure where they are  :(

I USUALLY USE THE WASHERS WHICH ARE USED WHEN THE BRAKE BRIDGE IS ROUND , JUST PUT THEM TOGETHER TO FORM A THICK WASHER-SPACER,IF YOU WANT SOME PM ME YOUR ADDRESS AND I WILL SORT YOU SOME OUT ;)
